Kate: Oh. Philip, hold him up to the phone so he can see me. Oh, that's so
cute. Parker, hi. Wave to grandma.

Chloe: Oh, my God. My baby.

Daniel: I upset you. I'm sorry.

Jennifer: No, you really didn't.

Daniel: I only meant to say--

Jennifer: You didn't upset me in a bad way. It's just, for so long... you
know, with Jack... or without Jack, I never really felt...

Daniel: Appreciated.

Jennifer: That's really self-pitying. It's terrible.

Daniel: No, it's not. It's not at all.

Jennifer: But listen, whatever the reason... I don't know, I just-- I got
really emotional when you said all those sweet things. Gosh, now I feel like a
fool. This is ridiculous.

Daniel: No, no, no, no. You?

Jennifer: Yes.

Daniel: Never. Come here. Never, never, never.

Maxine: Dr. Jonas. I need you, like, yesterday.

Daniel: Okay. On my way.

Rafe 2: [Muffled] Where the hell did they go?

Rafe: Well, I don't think anyone recognized us.

Sami: [Laughs] I'm just glad we found a place to put the creature.

Rafe: Yeah.

Sami: And that Uncle Bo warned us that someone was gonna be using the safe
house.

Rafe: Right? Can you imagine? I could just see Tim walking in on us... just
like that time you thought that you were sneaking out on me when you thought I
was in the shower.

[Door closes]

Taylor: Answer me, EJ. Are you responsible for running the drug ring that
Troy worked for?

EJ: Who told you this?

Taylor: Troy killed Arianna Hernandez. He ran her down, and he left her to
die. Was he selling drugs for you when he did? EJ, tell me the truth.

EJ: You think about what you want me to say. Do you want me to tell you the
truth?

Chloe: I want to see my baby!

Kate: Philip, I'll call you later. What--have you lost your mind?

Chloe: That is my son.

Kate: What are you gonna do, have a conversation with an infant?

Chloe: You were.

Kate: You know, if you were really concerned about mothering that child, you
would have had second thoughts before you left him all alone in his stroller on
the pier and jumped into the river.

Chloe: Did Philip say if he's all right? Is he sleeping through the night or
eating solid food yet?

[Cell phone ringing]

Kate: Oh, my God. Oh, wonderful. [Sighs] Now is not the time.

Stefano: Are you still mad at me?

Kate: I'm very busy, Stefano. What is it?

Stefano: I'm at Chez Rouge. I would like you to meet me here.

Kate: Now?

Stefano: Yes. Please.

Kate: Fine. Fine, I'll be there in 15 minutes. I take it that you will not
off yourself over this.

Chloe: As if you care.

Kate: No, I don't. But I also don't like messes. You know, the funny thing
is, you want people to believe that you're getting healthy, sane, and
reasonable.

Chloe: You don't know anything about me.

Kate: Oh, I know more about you than you think I do. And a little hint,
Chloe-- hanging around bars in the broad daylight, that's not going to make
people think that you're on the road to wholesome living.

Chloe: You don't even care that my child was taken from me.

Kate: You did that all by yourself. And as for Parker, he's safer without his
mother. Now, what does that say about you?

EJ: Regardless of my last name... I'm as noble and honorable as they come.
I'm a man of tremendous integrity... and virtue. I have a heart that never
hardens. I have a temper that never tires. And I have a touch that never hurts.
So come on, let's have a drink. To my innate, unfailing goodness.

Jennifer: Oh, hey.

Scott: Hey.

Jennifer: How'd, uh, your checkup go?

Scott: Well, I'm as healthy as an aging ex-high-school running back can be.

Jennifer: Hey, let's not forget you led this team to the championship on your
back.

Scott: Hey, that's right-- senior year. I didn't think you went to any of the
games.

Jennifer: You know what? I didn't. But, you know, it's all everyone talked
about for weeks. You know that.

Scott: That's right--it was all Frankie all the time for you back then.

Jennifer: Yeah, it was. And, um, you know, then it was Jack.

Scott: Yeah. Yeah. Long time ago.

Jennifer: Yeah. Very. Can I ask you something?

Scott: Sure.

Jennifer: When you asked me to grab a cup of coffee earlier, were you just
being friendly, or were you asking me out on a date?

Scott: You've obviously been off the market for a while, that or I am one
lousy date asker-outer.

Jennifer: Yikes.

Scott: "Yikes"?

Jennifer: You know, I didn't tell you this before because I'm really naive
about this while "date asking out" thing.

Scott: You're seeing someone.

Jennifer: Yeah, I am. You know what? It's--it's really a new thing, but,
um... we get along really well, and we're just trying to keep it neat, you know?

Scott: Well, I hope this guy knows how lucky he is.

Jennifer: Oh, no, I'm the lucky one, really. He is the most incredible man.

Chloe: I appreciate the gallantry, Quinn, but I'm really gonna be bad company
now.

Quinn: Oh, hey, come on, we had a date.

Chloe: I know. And I'm sorry. I just... I didn't expect what just happened to
happen.

Quinn: Well, I can have Cruella put down. Yeah, you just say the word.

Chloe: What?

Quinn: That woman you were talking to--the one who made you cry.

Chloe: Well, she didn't really make me cry. It's what she reminded me of that
did.

Quinn: Who is she?

Chloe: [Sighs] My former mother-in-law.

Quinn: Ah. Well, at least let me help you forget about her.

Chloe: I'd like that.

Quinn: First step is not talking about her anymore today.

Chloe: Okay. You're very persuasive.

Quinn: Ah, see, you're easy.

Chloe: Unh...

Quinn: That came out wrong.

Chloe: You know, however it came out, it's true.

Quinn: No, it's not. Whatever happened between us was just a
misunderstanding. That's all.

Chloe: You mean how you took me back to your hotel room, had your way with
me, and then left on out-- that misunderstanding?

Quinn: I have an idea. How about we rewind this conversation and start over?

Chloe: I need to rewind my life and start over. [Sighs]

Quinn: I'm so sorry about all this, Chloe. I really like you, you know. And I
want to try and do this right.

Chloe: Okay, look, I'm a little on edge, but I did agree to go out with you,
so I'm gonna go fix myself up, and we'll start over again... like you said.

Chloe: I'm not so sure that lemon drops are my drink, after the last debacle.
Besides, my ex-mother-in-law just made a crack about how I hang out in bars in
the broad daylight too much. So I'm just a little sensitive.

Daniel: Well, I just happened to be close by when you guys met up again, and
I couldn't help overhearing. But anyway, I hope you're not turning him down
because I made you feel--

Jennifer: No, you didn't make me feel anything. I-I did it because of how I
feel... on my own, just me.

Daniel: Okay. Then I will see you in a while.

Jennifer: Okay.

Daniel: Okay.

Kate: What's all this?

Stefano: This? [Chuckles] Isn't it obvious?

Kate: Yes. Obviously, you want something.

Stefano: An elegant dinner with my wife, yes.

Kate: And then what?

Stefano: That is entirely up to you.

Taylor: You had a woman killed.

EJ: It was not on my orders. I didn't know anything about Troy being involved
in Arianna's death until I read about it-- when I read about the attack on
Melanie in the newspaper.

[Footsteps approaching]

Stefano: Ah. It's a terrible thing, Elvis.

EJ: Father! It says here that Troy admitted that he's the hit-and-run driver
who killed Arianna.

Stefano: Yes.

EJ: Wait a second. I was told he wasn't coming back to Salem when he was
released from prison.

Stefano: What difference would it have made if you knew?

EJ: I-- it-- I do.

Stefano: Look, nothing would have prevented that tragic death of that poor
girl, all right?

EJ: Is this it, hmm? Is this what it is!

Stefano: Arianna's death is not your fault, Elvis.

EJ: The hell it isn't. This has to stop. Father, this has to stop. [Sighs]
This has to stop.

Stefano: What does that mean?

EJ: When I found out what happened to Arianna... her death--I wanted to turn
myself in. I still do.

Rafe: [Chuckles]

Sami: I missed you so much.

Rafe: I missed you too.

Sami: I love you.

Rafe: I love you.

Jennifer: Hi, there.

Caroline: Oh, hi, honey. How are you?

Jennifer: I am great. How are you?

Caroline: Oh, I'm fine, fine. It's so nice to see you upbeat... and no more
polka dots.

Jennifer: Yes, I agree. You know, it has really been a hard few months, but
things are definitely looking up.

Quinn: Not to give you the wrong idea, but I think you could use another
drink.

Chloe: Oh, yeah.

Taylor: Are you? Are you gonna turn yourself in?

EJ: [Sighs] You know, if I could have turned myself in that first day, I
would have done it.

Taylor: But you didn't. Why?

Stefano: No, no, no, no, no. You not go into do that. I will not allow you to
give yourself up to the police.

EJ: That girl is dead because of me... Father.

Stefano: That girl is dead because of a cowardly act by a man who did not
know what he was doing.

EJ: We have to stop this.

Stefano: Well, what about Taylor? You say that you love her, for goodness
sake! At least that's what you said to me!

EJ: What are you saying?

Stefano: What am I saying? What about this grand person of yours huh? What is
she gonna think of you when she realizes you are connected with murder who in
drug cartel that worked for you?

EJ: That's why.

Taylor: And what, is this supposed to endear you to me, that you skirted jail
for the sake of your children?

EJ: [Breathes deeply] And you.

Taylor: You tried to cover this up. And you couldn't. What do you think? You
think that I would be moved by this? What, your nobility to... stay out of
prison for being a drug dealer and an accessory to murder?

EJ: I know you're not falling in love with me, Taylor. You're falling in love
with the man you think I am... falling in love with the man that I want to be.
But that's not who I am. I am this guy. If I could not be this guy, I'd take
that offer, and I'd run. But this is who I am.

Caroline: It is really great to see you happy.

Jennifer: Oh, thank you so much, Caroline.

Caroline: You know, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for you since you
were a little girl. Oh, you've had a heck of a hard run lately.

Jennifer: Uh, no arguments from me.

Caroline: I don't know. It seems in life, things just go round again. You
know, the good, the bad, and the boring.

Jennifer: Yes. You know what? I was craving some boring after the past few
months. But I don't know. I just--I thought I wasn't gonna find any good. And I
was pleasantly surprised.

Caroline: That's nice. You and whoever you're going to share these salads
with, enjoy your lunch on the house.

Jennifer: Thank you. Bye.

Caroline: Bye.

Jennifer: Good to see you.

Chloe: I want to get out of here.

Quinn: You got it.

Chloe: I mean I want to go home.

Quinn: I'm not sure you'll take this the right way coming from me, but I
don't think you should be alone right now.

Chloe: You're right. Coming from you, I'm not so sure either.

Quinn: Look, whatever happened before, all I want now is to be your friend. I
think you're a really sweet person, and what can I say-- I like you. I feel a
real connection with you. Hey, look at me. I want to help you.

Chloe: People don't usually want to do that for me, Quinn.

Quinn: Let me try.

Stefano: [Chuckles] How long, darling, are you gonna make me work for this?
It's Vivian.

Kate: Uh-- please, not while I'm eating.

Stefano: You have nothing to fear.

Kate: All of this is very, very lovely, but do not think for a minute I
believe that it was to appease what you thought was my jealousy.

Stefano: Well, what did you think it was for?

Kate: I think you're keeping something from me.

Stefano: Women.

Kate: Yes, I am.

Stefano: All right. Yes... Vivian came to me with an offer.

Kate: Oh, please tell me it was just business.

Stefano: Well, of course it was business. It's just that I'm not interested.

Kate: And why not?

Stefano: Well, I mean, if, you know, there's a chance that it would take away
my wife's faith in me... it's not worth it.

Taylor: This is insane. This is insane. In one breath, you tell me you are a
drug lord, and in the next, you tell me that you want to be a better man. For
me?

EJ: Why is that so hard to understand?

Taylor: Why don't you want to be a better man for yourself?

EJ: That's what I'm saying. I do. All right. Okay. I won't call the police.

Stefano: Good. Good! And don't talk like that anymore. The last thing I need
is you behind bars trying to make some kind of a statement that's gonna fall on
deaf ears anyway.

EJ: I won't turn myself in, but this is the last day that things stay the way
they are.

Stefano: Meaning?

EJ: So...I hear you might be interested in a little bit of my business. It's
yours. Do whatever you want with it. I gave it up... the day that I found out
Arianna died.

Taylor: So what am I supposed to do, huh? Am I supposed to throw myself into
your arms in gratitude and respect because you gave your dirty business to
someone else to run?

EJ: I tried to fix it. All right? Oh, I understand there's nothing that I
could do that would bring Arianna back. I live with that every day.

Taylor: Do you know what your problem is? Do you know what it is? You let
your father rule your life.

EJ: That's not true.

Taylor: No, isn't it? Isn't it? If you had a shred of decency in you,
you--you would have paid your debts, and you would have made amends. But it's
not what you did, is it?

EJ: If there were anything that I could have done to make up for what
happened, then I would have done it. But I know that I can't!

Taylor: No, you can't. But you should have. You should have turned yourself
in, EJ.

EJ: Fine. You do it. Come on. Oh, I deserve to be punished, right? You do it.
Do it.

Jennifer: Oh, there you are.

Daniel: Hey.

Jennifer: Brought you some lunch. Actually, I brought us some lunch. So
whenever you want to take a break...

Daniel: I think I will take it right now.

Jennifer: Really?

Daniel: Really, really.

Jennifer: That's great. Well, anyway, I brought two salads from Brady Pub
and, of course, you know, the incredible Brady clam chowder, which is the best.
Hi.

Daniel: Hello.

Jennifer: We're at work.

Daniel: I don't see anyone around.

Jennifer: You don't?

Daniel: I don't.

Maxine: My, oh, my... those two are getting friendlier by the minute.

Chloe: What are we doing here?

Quinn: We're putting some distance between you and what happened there.

Chloe: In your hotel room?

Quinn: Yeah. Look, um... last time... look, this time it's different.

Chloe: Really? Why? Because now you know I'm not a prostitute?

Quinn: Hey, stop.

Chloe: What do you want... aside from the obvious?

Quinn: I hated seeing you so upset.

Chloe: You don't even know me.

Quinn: I'd like to. Chloe, you're a beautiful woman, and you deserve to be
happy.

Chloe: I don't remember the last time I was happy.

Quinn: Hey... well, I wouldn't presume to think that I could make you
happy... at least not yet. But maybe I could help you forget for a while.

Chloe: I want to.

Quinn: So do I.

EJ: Come on. You gonna call the police? Yes or no?

Taylor: How could you let this go so far, EJ?

EJ: If you're not going to call the police, I suggest you leave. I'm sure you
prefer not to be in my presence anyway.

Taylor: Wow, I do not know how you live with yourself.

EJ: I can't just turn back time. So I live with the guilt... every day... of
knowing that Arianna died, in part, because of who I am. I carry that burden
with me, together with the shame... of your being disgraced by me.

Taylor: So you're not selling drugs anymore?

EJ: I have not been involved in one illegal business activity with my family
since that day. I'm done.

Taylor: So what does it leave, huh? Olive Oil Importing?

EJ: It leaves me redeemable, perhaps. But at least clear that, moving
forward, no one else is gonna suffer because of my direct or indirect
involvement.

Taylor: And you made that decision because of Arianna's death.

EJ: That... and for one other reason. But it doesn't really matter now, does
it? Nicole's going to be my wife for the foreseeable future. You can take what
I've just told you, and you can do whatever you want with it.

Rafe: It's incredible. I feel real close to you. I don't ever want to move.

Sami: Me either.

Rafe: Ugh. We do have to go and deal with what's-his-face, you know.

Sami: You have no idea how much I want to kick that guy in the--

Rafe: Yeah. Not if I beat you to it. Hi, this other store has these for 20
cents less.

Stefano: So you see, Katherine... a fine meal... a spring passeggiare, and
all is right with the world.

Kate: Oh, my husband the Pollyanna.

Stefano: What? What, you don't agree?

Kate: As long as Vivian Alamain is breathing, not to mention stirring up
trouble between us, no, all is not right with the world.

Stefano: [Chuckles]

[Wind blows]

Kate: Ooh!

Stefano: Ahh...

Kate: Where did that come from?

Stefano: Vento malato, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. [Chuckles]

Kate: "An ill wind is coming your way"?

Stefano: You see? I'm not a Pollyanna after all.

Taylor: God, what am I supposed to do with this?

EJ: So you take the business, and you never contact me again.

EJ: Yeah. If I can just find a way... to keep Taylor from finding out that
I'm the reason Samantha lost Rafe... maybe she'll find it in her heart to
forgive my other trespasses.

Sami: Are you kidding me? You know exactly what it is, don't you? I took it
by accident when I walked out on you. But it's your ticket out of Salem, isn't
it? It's the money the DiMeras paid you to ruin my life. This is how you're
gonna access it.

Rafe 2: Yeah, whatever. As soon as I realized that I lost it, I made a few
calls, canceled it. [Chuckles] You got nothin'.
